BOA game attendance?

[NavyApp]

Official attendance was 36,752 according to multiple news sources so it sounds like only about 1,500 more than the Wake Forest game drew in Boone in 2017. In my opinion this should go on ASU's list of largest home game attendance but only with a big asterisk since it was a "home" game in name only. If it ain't at "The Rock" it ain't really at home. Attendance for this game would have been about the same (or maybe even higher) if it had been held in Boone...but with fewer ECU fans. I bet this number falls anyway next year when UNC comes to Boone. Now it's on to "Rock" the next NFL stadium.

UNC is not coming to the Rock next year. Write it down.

Have they ever cancelled on an in-state opponent? I know they have political power that other non-cheating public universities don't have but if that were to happen the state legislators in the western NC area needs to raise hell if only for the economic impact of keeping money moving in-state.

I know nothing. This is just what I predict to happen. With the seismic upheaval in college football in the past month, I fully expect this upcoming off-season to be one of unprecedented nature. I expect the P5 schools to break contracts and create fully P5 schedules. Again I have no knowledge of anything I am just reading the tea leaves.

I would not be surprised if they circle the wagons as a group. I also know ECU used some legislative pull to get some games with UNC-CHeat and NCSU. I would prefer not to go that way, but I do expect them to honor a contract to an in-state sister school and if they don't I expect some internal bitching and moaning to make a political point. The rural eastern side of the state has more political pull than the rural western side but I would want our own to go to bat for us, though if they don't want to play us then f' em.


But you do make an excellent point.

Another route they could take is the USC model: remove the trip to Boone by adding another game at their site now and moving the trip back to Boone to a galaxy far far away

They tried their darndest to get out of the basketball game in Holmes until Rufas passed.
